A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, blocky serifs. Strokes show a clear but not extreme contrast, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the dense weight from feeling brittle. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and several forms feature rounded/ball terminals and teardrop-like endings that add a slightly calligraphic, inked texture. Overall rhythm is energetic and compact, with a sturdy baseline presence and assertive verticals.
Best suited to display settings where impact is needed: headlines, posters, cover typography, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when set with enough space to avoid crowding at smaller sizes.
The tone reads bold and extroverted, with a retro sports-and-editorial flavor. Its italic slant and chunky slabs convey momentum and confidence, while the rounded details add a friendly, slightly playful warmth rather than a purely industrial feel.
The design appears intended to blend the solidity of slab serifs with an italic, high-energy silhouette for attention-grabbing display use. Rounded terminals and bracketed slabs suggest an aim for approachable boldness—strong enough for signage and promotions, but with softened details to keep it personable.
In the sample text the dense strokes create strong word shapes and a dark typographic color, making it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing. The numerals match the letterforms’ weight and slanted stance, keeping headings and short numeric strings visually consistent.
